Isn't that too subtle? I wonder whether that's a common problem in Ruby 
programming.

That reminds me of uniform(), Phobos's experiment in open/closed ending: :)

import std.random;

void main()
{
     // Also available: "()", "[)" (the default) and "(]"
     auto result = uniform!"[]"(0, 5);
     assert((result >= 0) && (result <= 5));
}
